Shea's Gas Station Museum located on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois was transformed from a working Texaco station into a world renowned museum by owner Bill Shea and his wife Helen. The museum contains an eclectic mix of vintage gas station memorabilia collected over the last fifty years including the original gas pumps, wooden phone booths, signs, photos, and other mementos reminiscent of old Route 66 service stations.^[1] The museum’s guestbook boosts visitors from all over Europe and Asia and has become a destination for international travelers exploring the Mother Road.^[2] Due to his commitment to preserving Route 66 history and gas station memorabilia, plus his many years of quality service to his customers, Bill Shea and his shop were inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1993. The entire Shea family was inducted in 2002.^[3]
